Behringer Xenyx QX1202USB Premium 12-Input 2-Bus Mixer

The Behringer Xenyx QX1202USB Premium 12-Input 2-Bus Mixer is a mixer that offers clear and natural sound in a compact and portable format. With twelve inputs, four high-quality XENYX mic preamps, a multi-FX processor with legendary Klark Teknik reverb, and a USB interface, this versatile mixer is ideal for a wide variety of mix and recording applications, from small-stage gigs to home-studios, mid-size corporate events, and more.

The Behringer Xenyx QX1202USB is quick to set up and operate with all connections and controls easily reachable on the top of the unit. The first four input channels feature XENYX mic preamps, which deliver 130 dB of dynamic range, low-distortion signals, and a wide frequency response extending from 10 Hz to 200 kHz. Switchable 48V phantom power allows you to plug in both dynamic and studio-grade condenser microphones. These channels also offer four 1/4″ inputs for line-level signals.

Each mono channel features a British-style, 3-band EQ to provide warm and musical tone corrections for your vocals and instruments, as well as an easy-to-use, “one-knob” compressor to gently smooth out signal peaks for punchy and present bass lines, drums, and vocals that sit right in the mix. Gain knobs let you adjust the input levels and clip LEDs alert you when the signal is too high and about to distort.

The four sets of stereo inputs each feature +4/-10 switches used to match the mixer’s input sensitivity to the incoming signal. This helps avoid signal degradation when connecting stereo keyboards or playback devices to the mixer. Pan (or balance) and level controls are included for all channels.

To add depth and dimension to your mix, the built-in, Klark Teknik 24-bit multi-FX processor offers 100 presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch-shifter, and a variety of multi-effects. Each channel is equipped with a post-fader FX send, which you can use to send signal to the FX processor or to an external processor. The FX-to-Main knob allows you to control the level of the effect in your main mix. There is also a built-in, stereo USB audio interface for recording your mix directly to a computer. It even comes with the recording and editing software needed to turn your computer system into a complete home recording studio.

The 2-Track section provides an easy way to connect an external 2-track recorder and/or playback device. The 2-Track inputs are assignable to either the main mix or to the control room/phone outputs. The main mix fader controls the signal at both the main outs and 2-Track output, while a dedicated knob adjusts the volume for the phone/control room outputs.
